I'm getting ready to paint the shutters on my '49 SC Case. What's the best way to paint them, doing a thorough job, without gumming them up so they don't work? Want to do it right.

My experience has been with JD shutters, but the following procedure has worked well for me: Clean and carefully sand-blast, and wipe with laquer thinner to remove all residue. The secret is to apply a small amount of paint at any one time, and open and close the shutter frequently during the painting process so the paint doesn't "glue" everything tight. (I learned this the hard way). To avoid applying too much paint at any one time, I use spray cans for both primer and finish JD coats, several of each. I've used this method on several tractors-- so far, so good.

I'm using an electrolysis process to clean them and should be down to bare metal. May use etching primer, as this has a hard finish, dries quickly and has little paint buildup, it seems. Moving the shutters as I paint and during the drying process is a great idea. Sounds like thin, quick drying paint is where its at too. Thanks for the tips.
